Okay, I don’t really know what got into me, but suddenly I found myself talking in this strange, stilted way for the first 8 minutes of the show. I think I’m getting more and more frustrated with myself for not writing. So, instead of talking, I’m going to talk like I’m reading? That doesn’t make any sense. Yet, what ever does? I go over my daily routine. “Routine” as in, the thing I do ever day, day after day, over and over, again and again…aaaarrrggg. And, I talk about some other stuff, mostly my son’s recent research paper on the theremin. I was disturbed/amazing/baffled by the fact that I have at least 5 albums that include songs that feature a theremin on one of the tracks: Jellyfish’s Bellybutton (“Bedspring Kiss”), Soul Coughing’s Irresistible Bliss (“4 Out of 5”), Elvis Costello & the Imposters’ The Delivery Man (“Bedlam”) and The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds (“I Just Wasn’t Made for These Times”) If you want to make your own theremin, or just want to geek out on some cool little electro-projects, check out MakerShed.com from Make Magazine. Awesome stuff, including the Japanese mini-theremin. Premium Version: 40 min or so Free Version: 20 min
